Friday Night Lights... Hokies Plus!

[Eddy Munny]

Is there a bigger game left for Virginia Tech? After dropping two already their playoff hopes are slim and none. I guess they can still win the ACC since the losses were non-con, but that would have to start tonight against the current favorite.

The Hokies were just flat out overrated coming into the year, but they still have enough talent to not get ran off the field in my opinon. Just let Drones be Drones, and if that means going off script and improvising every other play them so be it. He is not going to win you games standing in the pocket and going through reads all day.

Miami is on a roll, but they traditionally have inexplicable letdown moments, and it's continued under Cristobal. Maybe this version of the U is different, but I'm willing to buy low on Tech and hope they come out with some heart tonight and empty the chamber. If Florida is the best team the Canes have beaten so far, then I'll go out on a limb and say tonight will be their toughest test to date.

Hokies +19.5 (yes, that's an old number, I bet it Wednesday, sue me)

On vtech +17.5. Gl eddy

I had Miami moneyline let me say that again MONEYLINE last year to close out a big parlay against Georgia Tech last year. If you remember that game, they had cruised through the first 3 or 4 games of the season, were favored by 20, it was 0-0 at halftime, they got a lead, could have run out the clock with a knee but fumbled on a run and Georgia tech went like 70 yards and scored with like 20 seconds on the clock and no timeouts and won. It was the most preposterous thing that’s ever happened to me.

Suffice it to say I support any and all fading of Miami, especially this time of the season after an undefeated start.

Yeah I recall that game and scenario, it was every head coach who mismanages the clock's worst nightmare come to fruition. Having that backfire as the last leg of a parlay is what drives good men to commit bad deeds lol.

[SomeDayinBuffalo]

I agree with this is VT last stand. Just don't know in the end it will matter. I went with the U TT o37.5

[Eddy Munny]

Great start for Tech... like I said, Drones is at his best when a play breaks down and becomes playground ball.

[Eddy Munny]

Well it was fun while it lasted.

Been some wild swings so far but Hokies hangin' tough.

It was my fault for even having it in there, it was like -1400, but it’s easy to get greedy when you think it’s impossible to lose

I wanted to take VT but I’m still queered off of Miami games since the GT debacle. Also VT lost to Vandy and you just can’t lose to Vandy. Rooting this home though.

It was a bad loss for sure, but Vandy is improved. They're nothing special, but I don't think they're an absolute doormat like they were last year. They gave Mizzou a tussle as well. Plus, first games of the year can throw some curve balls considering it's teenagers with no preseason to work out the kinks.

Tech also looks willing to come out swinging tonight, knowing they had been so slow out of the gate in their two losses. They can't afford to play chase all game @ Miami. They should have been this aggressive all year.

[texhooper]

Well it’s looking like you nailed this one. It would take a hell of a collapse, but of course, as we have discussed earlier in this thread, stranger things have happened

Meanwhile I’m destined to sweat out Washington +1.5. Shooting themselves in the foot like a mug

[DrunkHorseplayer]

I knew Cam Ward wasn't great when he played at Washington St. but now I realize that he isn't worth shit. Good playmaking ability but makes stupid decisions and can't do shit unless his receivers are wide open; I'm glad he left WSU.

[Eddy Munny]

Canes on the ropes.

[texhooper]

Man these coaches are really going all out for the Boner Of The Year Award

[texhooper]

Canes on the ropes.

What’s wrong with a quick 3.

I mean my god

Coach wanted to steal 7 for a three score lead. He knows Cam can strike quickly. He probably felt like he was playing with house money after that interception. Got greedy.

[texhooper]

Holy shit what a play!

[Eddy Munny]

Drones magic in South Beach!

[Eddy Munny]

WTF... Restrepo catching it while on his keyster to save the drive.

[homie1975]

easy cover, great hit EDDY

[DonnieBrasco23]

easy cover, great hit EDDY

+1 great capping !

[Eddy Munny]

This game is insane.

[unde0087]

I love how they overturn the call on the field to give the other team a win and then don't even explain why. Basically they were talking in those headsets saying we can't let Miami lose this game.

[homie1975]

+1 great capping !

miami was playing so well the first 4 games.

vatech was not exactly a world-beater.

but EDDY sussed it out

And it’s not nearly as easy to say, “this is a big game, they gotta show up right” as it sounds. Many times, a team just blows. Nailed it though

Well I've been horrible at NFL this year so it's nice to hit some layups in college. I was actually a bit shocked when the line on this game swelled as high as it did. I would've gladly taken the Hokies at +14 so when I was able to get +19.5 it felt like an alternate line with only ten cents juice.
